    Ya know, I think I can kind of understand why they didn't go with the TOS styling. Someone or group would of been offended.

    I thought the original name of the Enterprise A was the Yorktown? The finale was okay, but overall was very disappointed that the Enterprise-F didn't get much of any screen time for those of us who were fans of the Odyssey class. I also feel that the rename to such a ship design was sorta a big step down.

    This sorta felt more like a series finale versus a season finale.

    I guess we’re gonna retcon the Klingon race again….

    I had a lil extra few bucks on hand so I got up this morning to just get some kitty litter, allergy meds and some coffee. But I figured I'd stop by the toy section at one of my local walmarts and see if anything had popped up. They had some of the last wave I guess of figures but there wasn't anything new. I was hoping more to find a G1 Hound re-issue but alas they only had nothing but Starscream. Tons of Jhiaxus though, that kinda surprised me. After I had gotten my supplies there I figured I may as well go to Target across the freeway and took a look there. At first I was a bit bummed, there were a ton of 86 Ironhide's....it was either 7 or 9, I just remember it was an odd number. They had Needlenose, Crashbar and Scraphook, 2 Galvatrons, 1 Sludge, a few Earth Sparks I had zero interest in. But what caught my eye was about 8 Pre-earth Jazz's. Which surprised the heck out of me cause mine was still on Pre-order from the website. Quickly got on my account, canceled that order and picked it up. It's not a bad figure, he's at least got a lot less kibble going on than Bumblebee did...I dig his alt-mode a ton and the simplicity of his transformation back and forth between modes. I thought for a moment his fists were pushpinned as I had intended to swap those out with his 86 variant but I don't think that's going to be possible as his are just pop out and I believe the 86 is pinned. There's also something I didn't expect....his hips are not exactly free moving or ratch based, they're kind of just like I don't know the term some sort of soft click so there's a limited amount of angles to choose from when posing. I mean either case I like the figure, and I might repaint the grapple hook and blaster to look more accurate. But man, if there isn't a wheeljack version seeing how he's the last of the shown pre-earth characters I will be severely disappointed. Now then.......I just wanna wait until I see some G2 stuff come along.

    Man, there was far to much crap in all of this that could of easily been trimmed down. We had all this filler and fluff that really brought out NOTHING and then The last 2 episodes somehow were able to hurt me about as hard as my ex girlfriend leaving me with the dog and ice cube trays. I mean literally was going "WTF?! FILONI! BAD!"

    Mhm, it's a blink and you miss it, but it's there. The museum was a ton of easter eggs. Several I REALLY enjoyed including a little Enterprise series moment we never got to see on screen. And of course a little reference to Voyage Home.

    man I dunno, I gave up after Evol....

    I’d hope not, I still wanna get ramjet l’s g2 deco but keep holding off. I gotta make a move soon though so I don’t miss out. Deadend FINALLY showed up from entertainment earth. Not hard to transform to vehicle in the slightest either! I really only had 2 quirks which were his feet don’t line up correctly in vehicle mode. And I don’t like how far up he sits in combiner mode. Had a problem getting him to break in half, had to sorta wiggle him loose. While I was looking at my old fans project version I started thinking they’d work well as cybertronian variants, I gotta find instructions to take them all apart again, that’ll be hard. FP stuff always seems complex.

    It’s very disappointing that they’re going those routes with jazz and grimlock. Had they stuck to their g2 decos I would have gladly ordered them. If anything now it just fuels my need to buy an additional studio series jazz and get the Toyhax labels for him, call it good. I know g2 figures always had some of the strangest paint colors but come on….

    Mainly cause no one wants to pay 230-300 bucks for a garage kit. Gonna be surprised if someone buys them.

    I believe it was said that the computer systems and a few other things of Riker’s Titan was placed into the new Titan.

    Oh wow looking at the casting list, I see my old friends Melissa and Cristina will be playing Kazumi and Takami. They were Misa and Minmay in my old DYRL dub. Infact Melissa doesn't live very far from me. I'm gonna need to poke her at some point.

    I"m hearing reports that some of the newest wave of legacy figures that weren't due for a few more months are trickling thru the gates. I didn't think to much of it when I read an article the other day but then I got an email from BBTS saying Twincast was arriving and due to ship out in the next week or so. Truthfully the only real reason I wanted twincast was just so I could add Rewind into the party. I mean I don't have a problem with Twincast, I even got a G1 Twincast reissue along with a Blaster. I did go out a bit this morning after a buddy of mine had been spotting some new releases at his local walmart. I hit the local target first and all I came across was a handful of Legacy Ironhide's which I had no interest in and 1 core slug. There are still a ton of Earth Spark figures piled on the pegs. Then I hit the walmart in town and came into possession of Spike. Said to myself, screw it, and got him. Not exactly an impressive lil core toy but I feel like I need to have him next to Bumblebee to make it more...I dunno, fun I guess.

    I'll be honest, this season has been rather flat.

    Truly a sad, sad day in the fandom. His stories were always so well done...it was one of those things where being a young boy watching the scifi channel's anime events you always had a good likelihood of coming across 1 of the Galaxy Express 999 films and be taken away to a far off world.

    I'm gonna go and just say it, this season 3 opener was more Star Trek than the previous 2 seasons combined. The tempo was nice, the visuals were enjoyable, and the music, while Season 1 and 2 didn't have horrible music, it was just certainly forgettable. They seemed to of finally found something that works by not fixing what wasn't broken and going back to what made even the films so much fun orchestra wise. I'm not 100% sure if I'm right on this, but the uniforms this season seem to look better than season 2 and of course a hell of a lot better than season 1. I gotta tell you, if they can keep up this pace for the entire season then I'm gonna have a lot of fun watching it compared to season 1 or 2.

    Figured as much, it’ll probably be well sought after. I was excited getting Rodimus off the shelf before my bbts preorder popped up and he was a lone figure beyond the myriad of deluded on the shelf. speaking of deluded I’ve got my local stores and man they are just shoving the earth spark and cyberverse figures down people’s throats. No legacy, almost no studio series outside of old stuff from last fall. Even Walmarts velocitron stuff hasn’t popped back up. guess that’s a good thing, not like I got much cash anyways. I got in a couple of Toyhax labels last night, a set for wreckers Leadfoot and Legacy Jihaxus. Man the labels really helped both figures a ton. Leadfoot is more like his G2 self that I enjoyed as a kid, and Jihaxus though I’m not done, now has more broken up color apps that pop a ton.

    Either options aren't bad. There was a guy on thingiverse who had a pretty decent remedy with some printable parts, sadly something happened to this guy and all his stuff was removed. I think but I'm not 100% sure but I remember there being a rumor of a possible SS86 Ultra Magnus coming out....but I'm not really holding my breath as it'll probably be just a repackaged Kingdom.
  20. Hikuro
    Quick Q, were there any mods to help earthrise/kingdom magnus? Like namely that truck mode being so bad.

    thanks for the information, man I haven't shopped at Entertainment in over a decade...forget they even exist. There use to be a place called ToysNJoys I would order from since High School and I found out they went out of business years and years ago, was shocked. I got an old I think year of the dragon or something Omega Supreme that I think was either a slight retool or just a repaint of the Energon Omega....wish I knew where I put him but I guess he'd make a decent substitute. I only came across Skylynx 1 time since his release last year and I almost got him but just didn't feel comfortable with the $75 price tag he was at when I found him at Target. I'll have to dig around the piggy bank and make sure I got enough to get Deadend online, probably will order 1 other item to get that free shipping cause man that's spendy on there.

    I went to two walmarts and the single target we got here in town and they've mostly reset with the earthspark toys which are not appealing to me at all. The Legacy and SS stuff were almost non existent as well, which surprised me. 1 walmart though did have an 86 G1 Starscream repaint which surprised me, I almost picked it up but said nah in the end. I actually went on their website and was checking things out a little while back after coming home from a quick deal at work. I managed to snag Red Alert but the listings for Minerva were online orders only but RA was available for pickup at every walgreens location around town....Think there's 4 or 5 here. So I went to pickup Red Alert but stopped by their toy aisle first to get an idea of what was there, all their Red Alerts in stock were up at the top and they must of had close to a dozen of him! I look a bit to my right and at the end of the stack of Red's was a singular Minerva so I snagged her. So in the end, I still got Skyfire, Omega Supreme, Skylynx, and Deadend to go for the list.

    I got to work a little with the Japanese headmasters and master force cartoons as Rodimus and then as Cab so there IS a little connection with these kind of figures coming out for me. I’d like to see more of the Japanese characters coming but I won’t be heart broken if that doesn’t happen due to weak sales either. im still trying to find that blasted Deadend and fearing I’ll probably have to give into the price jacked temptation online to get him. i have NOT gotten earthmode RedAlert, he’s been fairly elusive in my area of Texas. As for Minerva, it’s tempting but it’s one of those things where she’s not a headmaster which I felt was a wasted opportunity to me. I’ve seen someone post a 3D printed mod to make her more accurate but still no headmaster.
  24. Hikuro
    Kinda just skimmed over the broadcast but I already added twincast, metal hawk and shrapnel to my preorders. They were really the only 3 I had any interest in to be honest.

    Alright so a review is out for the what seemed to be a much anticipated Upgrade kit from DNA Design for Menasor. After watching it I'm gonna be straight up honest, disappointed puts it mildly. There's a little bit of parts forming, some awkward decisions on transformation, and the torso being a swap out between modes is a deal breaker for me. When I want an upgrade I want functionality and purpose. So those of us who've got Motormaster know that the chest piece rotates and swings from robot to trailer and the design of it isn't horrible, it's just not "Geewun" in appearance. DNA went and gave us a new chest where the gray collar bits set just a little to high and don't tab into anything to secure in place. You also have to swap it out and return to the Legacy chest piece for transformation from combiner to cab piece. There's also complaints that the trailer hitch and a few little pieces don't plug in very well or at all. I mean it seems like I would be paying 70 bucks for thigh extensions and articulated hands to be honest...and I feel like I could probably just wait until a nice 3D printable set show up. There's certainly been some options but nothing that feel right to me yet. With this though, I'm sorta glad I canceled the order....I don't wanna pay 70 bucks just to use a few pieces.
